CTaylorJr Report post Posted June 1, 2014 These things are getting addictive. This is the 3rd style I've done and the folks around the lake marinas love them. Around 6oz leather, resist was resolene, dye is saddle tan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eccho Report post Posted June 1, 2014 I really like it! What back grounder are you using directly around the skeleton, very nice effect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTaylorJr Report post Posted June 1, 2014 Thanks Eccho, the backgrounder is a Craftool 888, it works really well for this type of figure carving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MonicaJacobson Report post Posted June 1, 2014 Very cool! I'm not usually a big skeleton fan, but fossils are about as cool as it gets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CTaylorJr Report post Posted June 3, 2014 Thanks folks! #4 starts today and should be the last in the Fossil Fish series. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MonicaJacobson Report post Posted June 3, 2014 Cool! Now, was that fish hook in the original fossil, or is that artistic license? My husband and I were arguing about it when you originally posted it a few weeks back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTaylorJr Report post Posted June 3, 2014 T-Rex was using a hook made from pterodactyl bone and caught a coelacanth. Darn fish got loose, died, fossilized, and now we have an out of place object! That's my story and I'm sticking to it! LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MonicaJacobson Report post Posted June 3, 2014 LOL! I'll tell him. By the way, I used to live in the DFW area and all my family still live there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HippieLee Report post Posted June 3, 2014 Those are great! You should call up Bonefish Grill and sell them some custom fish fossils for their restaurants. lol, don'tcha just loves strangers telling you what you should do? You should do whatever you want to do - I'm just saying there's a restaurant chain here that could really use your awesome talent. :-) (Bonefish Grill: there's 4 of them in Texas) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
